beryl WM won't start

Hi,

I have just installed a beryl-kde and the beryl-extras package on arch and everything went fine except beryl always falls back to kwin when I try to change to beryl. I am running kde ;-) and I have the nvidia driver installed correctly as far as I know, I followed both the xorg and nvidia wiki pages. Here is my xorg.conf:

I only used the nvidia-config utility to create the xorg.conf, nothing existed before that. I remember having the same problem on my desktop a while back which also has an nvidia card and arch installed, but I managed to fix it, alas I can't remember how I did it but it couldn't have been that difficult if I managed it . Can anyone offer me any advice on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your time,
